That's nice in theory, but of course you can't know which pages have the 'like' button on it until you hit them.
Sure. That's why he suggested blocking the Facebook domain. I have a Facebook account that I use regularly, so I block the Like buttons with Ghostery.
Your advice is appreciated, but I my opinion, people shouldn't have to install software to avoid being tracked.
I agree. But Facebook isn't the only offender here; 3rd parties are also tracking your movements. The problem won't go away when Facebook relents; users are always going to have to defend themselves.
I shouldn't have to block the domain to stop them from tracking me. They just shouldn't track me.
